The simple things
James and Joyce Merchant Retired New Winthorpes, Antigua
How has your day-to-day life been affected by COVID-19? James & James: Our day-to-day life has been affected drastically. We’re on 24-hour lockdown. The government gives us a few hours to get food and medication and after that you can’t go out. We also have to keep to a six-foot social distance and wear masks. What’s been keeping you busy? Joyce: Every morning after we get up we do exercises outside as we’re lucky to have a long garden. I then trim our lovely flowers. We spend a great deal of time looking after our selfsufficient garden as a lot of what we eat is grown there. By the time we finish working on it we are knackered. But we enjoy it and never get bored of spending our day like this.
